good to a point

Brio and Beyond is for the Christian girl who does not mind reading a magazine with a conservative slant. This magazine is not a fashion magazine but instead is a magazine that makes you think. Aimed at older high school students and college students, its pupose is to help the girls in this age group become closer to God. It does this through fiction stories, advice columns, actor/actress/singer/athlete interviews, and monthly "Read through the Bible in a year" guide. Dispite being paper thin (issues range from 38 to 48 pages in length) the magazine is highly informative. My only gripes with this magazine is that it promotes, and sometimes spends pages on, promoting items sold by Focus on the Family. Added to this is my problem with the conservative slant of the magazine. I'm not conservative and I'm not liberal, it just frustrates me that this magazine cannot have a more neutral slant to it, especially since God is not conservative. On the flipside, as I mentioned earlier, the articles are informative, and the advice given is well researched, even if, at times I have disagreed with it. The magazine covers a wide range of cover models and articles, from the Brio Girl to Kedra Holland Corn to Natalie Grant. A recommended read for older teenagers and college students; but beware the slant.

Wonderful Reading

My daughter has been reading this magazine for two years now and we both just think it is the best teen magazine on the market today. I wish there were other publishers that put this much care into providing sound, up lifting and interesting material for teen girls.

an incredible mag for teenage girls

i love this magazine, it covers totally relevent issues for girls my age(17), younger and older. including spiritual, emotional, physical, and stuff like "how to nail your first job". it also has articles on fashion and yes even boys! the only bad thing is it usually only takes me about a day to read it, then i have to wait a whole month for the next one!
